Misti Wagner began her career in this industry when she was a senior in high school. She interned part-time with Dani at the Agency and received credit in her marketing class in 1997. She watched and learned from Dani and decided to continue working with talent at the agency after she graduated high school.
Prior to working in the agency she worked as talent in voice-overs for radio spots, on-camera TV commercials and print ads. She went through the entire beginning actor process first hand. She had a photo shoot with Still-n-motion, printed up several hundred composites and trained with Jean Fowler at Coachworks.
In Jan. 2003, after years of working as talent and with talent and after talking with several legitimate (SAG/AFTRA) talent agents about all the companies that take advantage of beginning actors and models, Misti decided to form her own company and hold monthly seminars with professional speakers appropriately named Actors and Models First Steps First Hand. She has garnered quite a reputation for looking out for beginners in the industry and has been on several TV news shows warning viewers of possible scams in the valley.
During her high school years and while working part-time with the agency Misti worked the summers at Golfland Sunsplash. She developed good work ethics and was promoted to a manager position when she returned the following year.
